Philippians 3:10-11 NLT “
10 “I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,
11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!”
What does it mean to suffer? Many will run from suffering, not realizing God is trying to cleanse and prune us. Many run because they do not realize or want to pay the price to be resurrected with Christ. They did not count the cost when signing up. They thought they were going to get entitlements from the kingdom just as the world enslaved with free candy.
